Commenting, Kim Nash, Managing Director, ZEDRA Governance, said: “ZEDRA’s aim has always been to expand our leadership in a way that highlights our commitment to providing the best service to our clients. This includes expanding our regional presence. As the independent trustee market continues to evolve, the importance of having people who understand local markets, and a permanent presence within them, is increasingly important. We have offices throughout the UK, but this is our first appointment in Scotland and we’re very excited about it. It is a hub for the UK pension fund market, and we are fortunate to have many clients and industry connections there, so it makes absolute sense that we’re there too. As we continue to grow our footprint in various regions, we look for talented individuals who not only possess the technical skill necessary to perform their duties to a very high standard, but also who have the people skills to understand different cultures and adapt their approach accordingly. Douglas has all these attributes, a strong knowledge of the local market, and a proven track record of innovation and quality execution. He is a welcome addition to our team.”
Douglas added: “ZEDRA’s tailored approach to trusteeship and commitment to client success, along with the team’s expertise and collaborative culture, made this an easy decision. I look forward to working with our clients and partners here in Scotland as we expand the ZEDRA presence in the area.”
Douglas has worked in the pensions and investment industry for over 20 years, including within a global asset manager, a bulk purchase annuity provider, and as an actuary providing advice to trustees and corporate sponsors of pension schemes.
